> How do you know when you haven’t used modern VR? Google cardboard doesn’t count. That’s my main point

Weird assumption to make. I’ve tried modern hardware, to me it’s mostly just higher resolution of the same thing.

All of your points do very little to address VR concerns. It’s the lazy people hurting the adoption of VR? Shouldn’t it appeal to someone that’s lazy and doesn’t want to go outside?

Facebook is far from the only player in the game. But their inability to make meaningful content with such a large investment should tell you something.

VR is a niche idea that has performed about as well as you can expect. Very few people want to go and work with a VR headset. I think it’s also fighting the trend of people wanting actual experiences, not virtual reality. If I can spend $1000 on a VR headset that will eventually just gather dust or choose to actually go somewhere, I’d choose the latter. Many people would.

I suspect it’ll end up the way 3D TVs did.
